Gran told to remove street garden she’s spent 25 years working on
A grandmother has been ordered to remove a street garden she has tended for more than 25 years in northwest London after her council said it was attracting anti-social behaviour.
Katharine Hoskyns, an 89-year-old retired teacher, transformed the space outside her home in St John’s Wood with pots of tomatoes, geraniums and herbs, as well as a bench where neighbours stop to talk.
But Westminster Council have issued her with a notice to remove the plants and benches after some residents reportedly complained.
Joined by her sister-in-law, Catherine, Katharine told GB News’ Will Godley about the joy the garden has brought the community.
She said: “I think community enjoy it. Everybody who comes up to me says they really appreciate it.”
In a statement, Westminster City Council said: “Residents should be able to live without anti-social behaviour impacting on their lives. Moving this bench will help reduce the recent disturbance in the area.
“We remain hopeful that we can resolve the situation amicably.”
